As i was making breakfast, i could see out my north window glimpses of a fiery sunrise. Since breakfast is my favorite meal, it was a-cookin', and i was feeling lazy, i gave it a pass. I learned later in the day that was, indeed, fiery.

Half an hour later, the skies were less fiery, but more interesting and subtle.

I like the 'more interesting and subtle' part.

'Sposed to be stormy, it doesn't happen. There some great skies nonetheless. Big bands of thick stuff movin' in off the ocean.

And when they move in, things can go from one extreme to another in no time flat.

The last week? Summer-like. And more to come. I am making salads for lunch, not meaty winter time sandwiches or soups.

I finally took in a great sunrise, left breakfast simmering.....

Many other images this month!

The sky is a constantly changing panorama - 'enjoy every sandwich' (as Warren Zevon put it), every minute of it. It only happens once.

Above, two kinds of power. Normally I like to not have anything manmade in these images, but this one
has a bit of a message - manmade power (thanks to which you are seeing this) vs. the much greater power of planet earth.

This one, below, happened in between two much cheerier skies, lasted for 30 minutes, then headed east.

About Me

A traditional darkroom photographer who manages to survive reasonably well in a digital world, the "silverwizard" lives just north of San Francisco,California. He pays most of the rent by pushing pixels, and spends whatever time he can at the beach or desert. He still gets into the darkroom from time to time - it's the best fun you can have with your clothes on!
